what are the best incontinence aids, reflux remedies and corn pads for seniors?

hope this is a more suitable question for seniors and won’t be deleted.

I don’t need incontinence yet. or corn pads, but I can put out some corny answers. I do have acid reflux because I eat stuff I shouldn’t…just use Omezperal. Guess that’s how it’s spelled. And I don’t always take it, then I whine…or I guess I groan…to myself.

Hubby likes Alka-Seltzer and I take Pepcid. These may not work for everyone but you can always try them. I don’t know about corn pads or incontinence aids. your questions are alright. Never offended. PoppyReferences :

If the incontinence is "urgency, not from leaking, coughing or laughing, but those terrible urges that it starts to explode as soon as you see the toilet., I’m sorry it is a bitch! Please try Cranberry capsules, Walmart, and get the once a day strength. I know it sounds hokey, but it has helped me immeasurably and I had the urgency really bad. It would interrupt my day.References : I am a retired RN and know my anatomy and the neurological reasons for the problem. I never had relief with ditropan or detrol

Depends, no I really mean, Depends. Also for incontinence, my son has had problems with this and he is prescribed Oxybutin for incontinence and it definitely works for him.

Acid reflux, been there done that. Hard to say which one, I tried all, even Rx ones but after being on them awhile, seemed immune to them, so I had surgery for hiatal hernia. I can now eat whatever I want, no medication, no reflux.

Corn pads, always Dr. Scholl’s products, since I don’t know of any other brand.References :

Well Roxy for your first query, ladies handle those kind of problems best with Poise, available from Woolies and I’m sure Big W as well.

Reflux is fun isn’t it ? If you get heartburn with that prevention is the best cure – you know no coffee, fatty foods, spicy foods – just do not enjoy anything you eat and you should be right. But really are you sleeping with 3 pillows propping you up ??? – there is a risk of aspiration if your reflux is severe like mine.

Sodium bicarbonate, about a teaspoon in a glass of water works as a remedy for it, if I fed you some spaghetti bolognese next time you come to visit ??

Kegelmaster Instructions

Make sure you lubricate the vaginal area with a water soluble natural lubricant and lubricate the Kegelmaster at the tip. Place the Kegelmaster between your thighs, insert the unit into your vaginal opening until it is firmly in place. You will notice this when the Kegelmaster feels much smaller and locks into place.

Grasp your Kegelmaster firmly, you are now ready for your initial adjustment!! This is done by turning the knob at the top of the Kegelmaster counterclockwise - until the knob is no longer touching the top of the Kegelmaster and until you feel a slight pressure. This should not be uncomfortable.

NOTE: If the knob is at the top of the Kegelmaster and you don't feel any pressure from the Kegelmaster putting resistance against the vaginal muscles, then you will have to add another spring. If you have the right tension, squeeze down against the Kegelmaster. If you are easily able to clamp down with your vaginal muscles completely for thirty reps (closings), remove the unit from your vagina and change the position of the spring, moving forward one pin (see Power Spring Combinations). If you are still able to easily close down all the way, for thirty reps - after insertion, then you must move the single spring back to the rear pin (1) and add a spring to the next forward pin (2), then repeat the process.

Power Spring Combinations:

1,2,3,4, 1*2, 1*3, 1*4, 2*4, 3*4, 1*2*3, 1*2*4, 1*3*4, 2*3*4, 1*2*3*4

The ideal spring tension is determined by one's ability to close the Kegelmaster at the beginning of the exercise and become unable to close it completely at the end of 30 reps. This is not hard to do and it is a lot of fun to see how many of the springs you can squeeze for 30 reps, having difficulty with the last five. The exercise sequence starts with 3 sets of 30 reps daily. With each rep you attempt complete closure of the Kegelmaster, pausing in between each set of 30 reps for 3-5 seconds. It is recommended to work up to 6 sets of 30 reps a minimum of 3 times a week. An individual may do more sets, but it is not advisable to exceed 30 reps. A final fatigue of the muscle until the last rep is performed with very little vaginal movement is your goal. When you are finished, close the device before removing! Gently close the device, tighten the knob and slowly remove the Kegelmaster.

Ideally, use the kegel exerciser twice a day, morning and evening. For women with prolapse, it is recommended to use the Kegelmaster in the morning to start with.

For prolapse or any other medical condition, please consult your doctor before purchasing the Kegelmaster.

The Kegelmaster is cleared and deemed effective by the FDA as a medical device for incontinence.

We in no way intend to diagnose, treat or make any medical claims about the Kegelmaster.

Cleaning the Kegelmaster is simple. Use an anti-bacterial cleaner after each use. Open device, remove springs, and use a small brush to reach all areas of the Kegelmaster. Dry and store for the next use.
